====== Pacific Breeze ======

Pretty mid-tier [[compilation|compilations]] of [[City Pop]] and related music, but at least they're stuff that's not just from the [[youtube]] algo. The instrumental choices are probably better, but I usually get bored of them. A whole comp of them might be better.They're about to come out with a third.

Picking out some of the good songs (NB: first one has the least amount of songs I skip). ? in 'Note' is a maybe:
